Portable, convenient, and packed with power and effects!

Flexible powerThe power mode switch lets you use the dual power channels as a stereo amplifier, or use one channel for the main speakers and one for the monitors, with separate monitor mix setup via the channel MONITOR controls.

Graphic EQsGraphic equalizers are provided for both the main and monitor power channels so you can effectively control feedback or tailor the sound to match the room and program material.

Input optionsThe EMX512SC offers a total of 16 input channels-8 for monaural microphone (with phantom power) or line input, plus 4 pairs that can function either as monaural mic inputs or stereo line inputs--providing a versatile mix of input capabilities for a wide range of applications. If only mic inputs are needed, you can use up to 8 mic channels. If you want to play recorded background music during breaks using a stereo input, and have a keyboard player with stereo outputs, you still have 6 mic/line inputs available. If all 4 stereo pairs are used to handle stereo line sources, you still have 8 channels available for mono mic or line input. It's a versatile system that can adapt to your needs with ease!

FCL (Feedback Channel Locator) systemThe Yamaha FCL (Feedback Channel Locating) system makes locating and eliminating feedback easier than ever. FCL indicators provided on each input channel indicate which channel feedback is occurring in, so you can identify it visually and adjust levels or EQ as required. Another handy features is a Standby switch that mutes channels 1 through 8 so that, for example, after rehearsal or between sets you can mute performer's inputs 1 through 8 without having to change fader settings, while stereo inputs 9 through 12 remain active for background music playback.

Durable, lightweight designAt only 22 pounds and equipped with conveniently located handles, the EMX512S is easy to transport. It's built to withstand the rigors of the road and deliver reliable performance, night after night.

Dual 500W amps

Power mode switch allows amps to function in stereo, or as separate mono channels for mains and monitors

I bought one of these to use as a backup/practice mixer for a live band. As mixers go it ranks way down past the bottom compared to all I've owned since I started buying them back in the '70s. It IS loud. It is ALSO, prone to feedback, and poor sound quality. It's like trying to sing with a of a weak mic. (anyone remember the Audio Technica Pro 4 L?) I love Yamaha guitars, drums, keyboards, speakers, amps, and motorcycles........but they bit the big one on powered and unpowered mixers............pity.

I previously owned a Samson 910. Great features but less power and it weighed about as much as my 8 year old. When the phantom power went out, later! This Yamaha has alot more punch. and it's SO FREAKING LIGHT!! They say it's because the power amps are a new switching-type (D?). All I know is this can drive a pair of JBLs 3- ways along with a pair of 10" monitors all nigh, no problem. The feedback feature is a joke and the lights would be better served as peak indicators. I find I have to EQ the board/channels more than I'd like to but that's something I find with every board except my Soundcraft FX16. The compressors are a glizy add- on that I thought would be a life saver but can cause more problems (feedback) if overused.I gig twice a week. If you do that then you already know how old transporting everything gets. This helps a lot and sounds great! What more is there? Oh yeah, I'd like to have a longer warranty.
